general order Of tho war department
announces the proceedings. findings, and
approval by the president OF tho sentence
OF dismissal in the case OF First Lieut.. Ben
lamin +. landlord. Eleventh infantry.
This officer was tried at Madison barracks,
n. T.. In September last on the general
and gentleman in making indecent pro-
posals to Sister Martina. o. s., q teacher
In the Indian schools at Standing Rock.
and also to Mrs. Kate Smith, vile of a
private soldier. The above offences were
committed at Fort Yates, OAK, before the
departure OF the Eleventh infantry for the
department OF the East.
The White House was invaded by nearly
two thousand members of the alliance,
called in body to pay their respects to
Preeidcnt and Mrs. Cleveland. Thoy were
received In the East room and were indi-
vidually presented to the President and
ident OF the alliance, and Col. John NJ. vii.
son. Mr.. Dodge made on address expressing
the great pleasure it gave the alliance, as a
body,to show their appreciation of the
president and his wife who, no said, was es.
pecially loved and respected by them all.
He urged the president to CO. operate with
the alliance in the cause of Chr stianity.

The president recognized him ut once, and
Q0VQnCin0 f0wa nd hin, IL With n1oo;~qo-
able earnestness and fervor that he was

gates broke out into laughter.
Washington Special. Mr.. Cullom, who
was chairman OF the committee on ex.
penditures OF public money in the
last Congress-, has been made chair.
man of the committee on interstate
commerce. The advance of public opinion
can be noted in connection with this com.
mittee. for from q temporary committee,
appointed during the recess, it has been
made standing committee with Mr.. Cul-
lom a. permanent chairman, and is destined
to become one OF the most important com.
mittees in the senate. The action of the
senate in making this permanent com.
mittee is a sufficient answer to any base.
less stories that the interstate commerce
law will be repealed. However much
some portions OF the law may be disliked
there is probably not member OF either
house who will care to so defy public
opinion as to move to repeal it; and no
changes in the law are to be anticipated
except as are designed to make it more
equitable or to enlarge it's scope by giving
to the commission definite powers which
are now matters Of construction, doubt,
or inference. The interstate commerce law
like the civil service law has come to STAY.
